Weapon Expertise Quests Explained
Weapon Expertise Quests are a novel addition to Fortnite Hunters, intricately linked to specific NPCs on the map. Players are introduced to these quests right from the start by speaking with NPCs like Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones about weapon expertise and sales.
Each quest comprises five stages of challenges. Upon completion, players can unlock one of three Legendary weapons from Hope, Ruji, or Vengeance Jones. Subsequent quests have also been introduced, enabling the purchase of both Void and Fire Oni Masks from Daigo, and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. These quests can be tracked in the main lobby or in-game by navigating to the Quests Tab and selecting Expertise Quests.
While completing these quests passively can take some time, the rewards are well worth the effort. Here’s a rundown of the Expertise Rewards available for purchase:
